Xu Rouguang's sheepish smile froze. His mind was thrown into turmoil as his gaze got locked on Lai Mingjie's face. He didn't even dare to breathe as he was scared he would break.
That was just one short line, but why did it feel like Xu Rouguang was torn into a thousand pieces?
It took Lai Mingjie a full second to realize what he had said, what he had done. He took in a sharp breath in panic before babbling incoherent words and waving his hands around. None of them made sense, coupled with the fact that he was talking too fast.
His Jie's heart rate was spiking in pure terror and panic. Xu Rouguang could send out his senses and catch every body gesture he was doing. He could conclude a big message: 'no'.
The general felt the need to lock their lips again just to stop Lai Mingjie from talking. It was the first time he had seen Lai Mingjie so openly flustered and terrified. How dare he scare his Jie like this?
Three seconds, ten seconds... twenty seconds...
